Setup Hawk Server on Linux (Ubuntu) Environment

1. Download the following repositories:

• https://github.com/rndsolutions/hawk.git (master branch)
• https://github.com/rndsolutions/hawk-agentj.git (master branch)

3. Configure your host file

• Open "/etc/hosts"

• Add the following lines:

  127.0.0.1 hawkserver

  127.0.0.1 redis

4. Prepare your machine

• Install Docker - https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/ubuntulinux/
• Install Redis - http://redis.io/download
• Install Redis Client - http://docs.redisdesktop.com/en/latest/install/#build-from-source
• Setup node.js - https://nodejs.org/en/

5. Prepare the hawk-ui

• Enter the ui folder and execute the following commands:
  • npm install
  • npm install gulp -g
  • npm install bower -g
  • npm install bower
  • bower install
  • gulp build

6. Build HawkEngine

• Make sure you have at least java 1.8.0_60 (jdk1.8.0_60)

• Make sure your JAVA_HOME environment variable is using the correct path

• Enter hawk folder and open a terminal within this folder. Execute the following command:

  • ./gradlew build -x test

• This should generate folder hawk\build\libs. Inside you should have the following .jar files:

  • server.jar
  • server-all.jar

• Go to the hawk\build\libs folder and open a terminal within this folder. Type the following command:

  • java -jar server-all.jar

7. Build the agent

• Make sure you have at least java 1.8.0_60 (jdk1.8.0_60)

• Make sure your JAVA_HOME environment variable is using the correct path

• Enter hawk-agentj folder and open a command prompt within this folder. Execute the following command:

  • ./gradlew build -x test

• This should generate folder hawk-agentj\build\libs. Inside you should have the following .jar files:

  • hawk-agentj.jar
  • hawk-agentj-all.jar

• In order to configure the agent the following folder structure must be created within the hawk-agentj\build\libs folder:

  • hawk-agentj\build\libs\config
  • hawk-agentj\build\libs\log
  • hawk-agentj\build\libs\pipelines

• In the hawk-agentj\build\libs\config there should be config.properties file (If is not there, create it).The content of the files should be:

  • agentPipelinesDir=Pipelines
  • agentId=57dd8d93-cd9e-444e-a248-36f64a447b80
  • serverPort=8080
  • serverName=hawkserver
  • agentName=Agent1

• These are configuration settings of the agent which point to which server should connect, etc.Once this is accomplished, go back to hawk-agentj\build\libs folder and open a terminal within this folder. Type the following command:

  • java -jar hawk-agentj-all.jar

• The agent console should be displayed and the agent should start logging messages whether is connected to the server or not.
